In The Burning

from Still Half Asleep by The Pursuits

about

The EP title was taken from a line in the chorus of this song.

lyrics

they run,
they run,
to their homes in resignation
and in shame.
red lights come on now
to melt domestications taped inside.

i’m walking out.
i’m waking up.
and i’ll shed my skin,
in this river.

it’s time,
it’s time,
to face the drowning man
and put him down.
wipe the slate clean
‘cause the style’s in the burning these days.

i’m marching out,
and i packed my bag.
still half asleep,
when the sun comes up.

can someone explain this thoughtless game,
because it’s killing me.
this chase is all i’ve ever known
and i can’t let go.
the crucify me to my past.
will you cut me down?
and be the cure for my restraint.
before it’s too late.

as the east meets west,
these native faces slacken in disgust,
when they see results of
cookie-cutter lives in cubicles.
i’ll kill their lies.
don’t tie me down.
i thought that i
could set you right.

they’ll blame,
they will blame,
my nurture for the nature of my sins.
but i’m here,
i am here,
to tell you this is what i’m living for.

no holding back,
with you tonight.
rebellion song
with our limbs entwined.

can someone explain this thoughtless game,
because it’s killing me.
this chase is all i’ve ever known
and i can’t let go.
the crucify me to my past.
will you cut me down?
and be the cure for my restraint.
before it’s too late.

and can someone explain this thoughtless game,
because it’s killing me.
this chase is all i’ve ever known
and i can’t let go.
the crucify me to my past.
will you cut me down?
and be the cure for my restraint.
before it’s too late.
